About The Miser
The Miser was first performed in 1668 and is set in Paris. It tells the story of Harpagon, whose name comes from the Latin word for "hook", and his obsession with wealth.

However, since its first performance, it has spread to other mediums - a French cinema adaptation came out in 1980 and an Italian-language movie was released ten years later.
